Our vision
Towards a 100% renewable

energy future
The energy landscape is in transition towards more flexible and sustainable
energy systems. Global progress towards achieving a 100% renewable
energy future is being made at an incredibly rapid pace. Power providers,
utilities and governments are changing their perspectives towards
inflexible generation and existing inflexible thermal capacity, like coal and
nuclear power plants, is being replaced with renewables. This phased
transformation requires considerable changes in infrastructure, innovation
and investments in technology.
Today, 18% of all energy production globally comes from renewable
energy sources. As renewables are becoming more competitive even
without subsidies, flexible solutions, like engine power plants, have begun
to replace inflexible power generation to enable more stable grids.
Ever increasing share of renewables will require highly flexible thermal
capacity to maintain system reliability. Energy storage will also become
a key component in the baseload grid to maintain overall grid balance.
The knowledge and technology for creating the optimal path to a 100%
renewable energy future according to your unique needs already exists.

Future-proof power plant solutions Delimara,

To meet the ever-tightening emission requirements, conversion to natural Malta
gas is a viable alternative for power plant operators. Wärtsilä engines
are future-proof and flexible, thus ideally suited for customers looking to
gradually transition to gas-powered operations. Our engines can be easily
adapted to using gas as a primary fuel, helping to cut operational costs
and exhaust gas emissions while increasing fuel flexibility. Transition from
diesel to gas as a primary fuel is but the first step; ultimately the switch is
to synthetic renewable fuels. Gas conversion is often considered to be a
key feature in future-proofing one’s power plant, as it enables transition to
synthetic fuels at a later date. It is also likely to promote the addition of more
renewables into the system.
The conversion concept follows the same principles as those of a
new Wärtsilä gas power plant built to the latest design and engineering
standards. We manage all phases, from feasibility studies, financing
solutions, solution proposals, execution planning and implementation, to
a full EPC solution.

Park provides frequency response and voltage control and can integrate a intermittent resources that can disrupt the grid with frequency and voltage
fluctuations on cloudy days and when there is no wind. For example,
fast-acting energy storage operating in concert with the solar system can
control power quality by calibrating battery charging and energy exports to
the grid. Consequently, storage mitigates the need for large-scale solar to
curtail output as clouds come and go.
Grid Reliability
Globally, there is a growing demand for resilience against power disruptions
in an increasingly volatile climate, especially in vulnerable regions—such
as California, USA, where high wind conditions force utilities to cut power
in order to prevent wildfires, or Puerto Rico, where extreme weather
conditions threaten the electric power grid.
Resilience is the ability to bounce back after a disruptive event, such as
unusual weather patterns. Greater resilience lessens the short-term impact
on the grid itself. Energy storage has the unique ability to provide a stable
infrastructure by cost-effectively enhancing grid reliability and security.
Storage does so by providing a buffer between supply and demand that
enables electric systems to rebalance during and after a disturbance,
including energy arbitrage, black start, and peak shaving capabilities. One
key example is in rural Roscoe, Texas, USA. In a project with E.ON Texas
Waves, Greensmith Energy integrated an intelligent energy storage solution
at a wind farm. The system was able to provide rapid response to shifting
power demand during an usually cold season in early 2018, delivering
short-term energy to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.
Microgrids and Island Grids

Microgrids present a unique set of challenges, particularly the need for
reliable energy to provide critical power needs. Energy storage solutions
offer both economic and environmental benefits for grid-scale capabilities
for localised energy.
Take the Northern Azores region, for example. Energy security was a
concern for the island of Graciosa due to a high dependence on fossil fuel
20 MW energy storage solution with NextEra in Illinois, USA.

GEMS
GEMS is a propriety software integrated into the battery management
system (BMS) that manages and optimises entire energy ecosystems to
provide the desired outcomes at the lowest cost. The software can integrate
multiple generation sources seamlessly, while also stacking and leveraging
various applications, such as frequency regulation and microgrids, to create
revenue streams and to mitigate grid issues. GEMS’ flexible architecture –
dynamically adjusting based on market conditions – addresses a critical
need for intelligent and adaptable software.
Real-time optimisation can create new revenue streams by leveraging
the available transmission capacity at existing sites while providing ancillary
services. For example, GEMS optimises wind and solar on the Portuguese
island of Graciosa, providing energy security and independence for the
once fuel-dependent island. Likewise, the flexible software also analyses
changes in market conditions and rate structures in the first energy storage
installation in Hungary. The unique integration of energy storage and GEMS
within an engine power plant – combining new energy generation with the
existing three Wärtsilä 34SG engines – allows the plant to operate in a virtual
mode, opening new opportunities in the Hungarian energy market. Finally,
in a project with Duke Energy at a retired coal plant in Ohio, USA, GEMS
provides precise and synchronised response to the PJM (Pennsylvania-
New Jersey-Maryland) market, delivering quick power versus the lengthy
ramp time of a traditional power plant.

imports in an isolated area. Storage is a sustainable alternative, bringing

islanding capabilities that result in lower energy costs, a smaller carbon
footprint, the ability to boost renewable energy consumption, and critically,
increased reliability and sustainability of the grid. In the case of Graciosa,
a hybrid approach to island grid energy generation – optimising multiple
generation assets, including wind, solar, storage and thermal generation
– addresses baseload supply requirements while accommodating
fluctuations in output that are inherent to energy supplied from renewable
sources. The entire system is optimised and monitored by Greensmith
Energy Management System (GEMS), operating as the island grid controller,
to maximise the performance and longevity of the Graciosa energy system.

Gas to power solutions
LPG to power
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas, propane or butane) is an excellent choice of
fuel for power plants where natural gas for various reasons is not available.
There are a number of reasons for the increasing popularity of LPG for
power generation:
z LPG is a cleaner fuel than diesel and heavy fuel oil.
z Transportation is easy by sea, rail or truck, regardless of batch size.
z Storage of LPG is relatively simple and does not require cryogenic
storage tanks.
z Storage and distribution infrastructure for LPG is readily available in
most counties.
Wärtsilä has fuel flexible power generation technologies allowing opera-
tion on various combinations of fuels such as propane, butane, methane,
ethane and diesel.

small and medium sized plants and power systems, is very cost efficient
thanks to the large world fleet of small and medium-sized LPG tankers (in
2019 more than 1,000 vessels according to Clarksons). The large LPG
tanker fleet as well as the strategically positioned land-based and floating
storages used in the LPG industry, guarantee the security of supply for
LPG. Furthermore, pressurized storage of LPG is simple and LPG terminals

Plant technology Modularity
Modularity
A module is a self-contained component of a system, which has a well-
defined interface to the other components. Something is modular if it
includes or uses modules, which can be interchanged as units without
disassembly of the module. As energy demand grows, the high modularity
of Wärtsilä’s products makes it easy to expand a power plant to meet
increasing future demand.
The common interfaces and flexibility of Wärtsilä’s modular design,
fulfilling a range of specifications and recommendations, addresses both
the demand of today’s customer and potential future needs. By using
predefined modular solutions, Wärtsilä can ensure that set performance
targets are reached.
Rapid installation time is one of the main benefits. Prefabrication
also ensures consistent high quality. Other benefits include the compact
and predefined design for transportation, and the use of well-proven
components from well-known suppliers. The use of portfolio modules leads
to higher documentation quality during the tender phase.
When compared to carrying out such work on site, the controlled

manufacturing, cleaning, and painting processes associated with
modularisation, have a positive environmental impact. For our customers,
modularised design means higher return of their power plant investment.
Some of the benefits of modularisation are:
z A pre-designed solution that can be customised to suit specific needs
z Fast and easy installation on site
z Proven design
z Reliable and thorough quality control
z Optimised plant layout
z Standardised connection interfaces
z Optimised transport dimensions
z Serviceability

Plant technology Electrical & Automation
Electrical & Automation

The Wärtsilä Power Plant Electrical & Automation concept provides
a complete plant management solution with standardised modules,
generators, switchgears and transformers, which can be tuned to the
customers or utility requirements. Wärtsilä Power Plant Automation is based
on the following building blocks. All these systems have been developed
with complete integration, and have clear and easy user interfaces providing
a uniform interface and logic for the operators.
z WOIS (Wärtsilä Operators Interface System) is the operator’s
workstation for process displays, control actions, trends, alarm and
event lists.
z WISE (Wärtsilä Information System Environment) is the workstation for
reports, logbook, electronic documentation and third party interfaces.
z UNIC is the engine embedded control system, handling all the control,
monitoring and protection functions of the engine, together with the
Programmable logic control (PLC).
z PLC based process control system handles all the control, monitoring
and control functions of the genset and plant equipment.
z Remote connection provides a secure internet or satellite link, to give
remote access to the information in the WOIS and WISE systems.
z Asset Diagnostics system is a subscriber-based condition evaluation

and reporting system created by Wärtsilä experts.
z An optional Archiving Station enables a lifelong storage of the plant’s
operational data.
Automated operation modes
Operational flexibility is applied in the same package supporting either
baseload, intermediate, peak load or stand-by power generation. Thanks
to the intelligent controllers, the Wärtsilä solution provides:
z System controlling the output with embedded frequency support and
power factor control for easy plant power management and import/
export control.
z Isochronous load sharing of both active and reactive power for island
mode operation support.
z Droop mode as a back-up and traditional operation mode.
All these operating modes are inbuilt and transfer between the modes is
automatic and smooth.

Operation of a multi-unit power plant

There are often significant seasonal, weekly and daily variations in power
demand. In a multi-unit power plant the units can be started and stopped
as per demand. It is possible to optimise the usage of each single unit by
choosing to either provide spinning reserve or to run it flat-out to obtain
maximum efficiency.
A multi-unit power plant can be run in various ways depending on the
situation at hand. Basically, there are two main operating principles:
In spinning mode, the gensets are synchronised and running, but at a
reduced load providing spinning reserve. This way the plant is fully ready
to take large, immediate load increases just in seconds.
In efficiency mode, the minimum amount of gensets are running at full
load to meet the current load demand, thereby allowing them to operate
at their best thermal efficiency. Still, the remaining gensets, which are in
stand-by mode, can come online and reach full load in a matter of a few
minutes to meet any unforeseen load increases.

components. The flash point of crude oil is low, typically below the ambient
temperature. Crude oil can also be used as fuel in power plants with diesel
engines, for example in oilfield power production. Another application is for
pumping stations located along a crude oil pipeline, where fuel from the
pipeline can be used for the prime movers.
